“While I‚Äôve been super pleased with all my purchases from MyPetChicken - all my birds have always arrived healthy and correctly sexed - and these two are no different - I‚Äôm a little disappointed in their appearance. I completely understand that a percent of all ‚Äúblue‚Äù are actually black, but both of mine are black and the roo has almost no red on him at all. He‚Äôs pretty much solid black.
I wouldn’t be disappointed if they were both black laced red, but since the roo is pretty much solid black, it’s a bummer.
I’d read that Wyandottes are one of the friendlier breeds, but the pullet is very very flighty. I can easily catch all my other chickens, but I have to have a second person to try and catch her because she flips out so much I worry she’ll hurt herself trying to get away. The roo is a different story, he’s still flighty... but I once I’ve caught him he calms down - whereas she fights like I’m trying to murder her.
I absolutely will still use MyPetChicken in the future. All my other purchases have been nothing less than 5 stars and whenever I have had to contact customer service it‚Äôs been an easy, quick experience.”
“We named our girl Lady Jewel and when you get yours you will know why. She is a big bird, sweet disposition, soft and fluffy and just gorgeous. I really regret not getting several, she is red laced with blue underpants that look like a frilly petticoat. She is a bird with an intellect and she hangs on every word you say. Make sure you get a few, too pretty and sweet not to. Terrific with kids!
Our Lady Jewel is very spoiled and you will spoil yours too. She won the local fair last year!”
“We orded a blue laced and ended up with the 25% Black laced. Her feathers are so gorgeous, the black is green/purple in the sun. She is the most lovely bird! She is the most sweet, calm and loving bird. She is trained to jump on my arm when I present it to her and she loves to do that and then get cuddles and treats. She is fluffy and soft. I am acclimating a new bird and she is the one I let out with her, she is the only one who won't peck or attack. We just love her!”
“I ordered one BLRW as part of a mixed flock of chicks back in the fall. Fern now looks almost exactly like the darker blue hen in the above picture. She is the lowest in the pecking order and a bit skittish, but very sweet. I am expecting her to start laying any day now as she‚Äôs 27 weeks. Pleased with this breed so far!”
“I was nervous when I started seeing feathering my my 6 hens and 2 roosters; none of them looked like they were blue! But my worry was for nothing as I ended up with two blue roosters, two blue hens, two splash hens, and two blacks. Very healthy birds and they juuuust started laying. Originally didn't want more than 8 but I've been bitten by the chicken bug, and now I'm thinking I'll let them hatch a few eggs out.”
“Three years ago my now-husband purchased three chicks for our five-year anniversary. One of which was a little blue-laced red wyandotte, Mora Moo. She was the sweetest of the bunch, and has grown into a beautiful, gentle, amazing hen. I absolutely adore her. She's a little low in the pecking order, but knows I will sneak her treats, so she follows me around and softly asks for them. I wish a few more in my flock had her temperament, if I'm being honest! She is a treasure.”
